In spite of the quick (and noble!) effort on the part of fanoush to update his kbdd application for Bluetooth keyboards to meet the needs of the new operating system, I find several glitches still remaining. The enter key now again only serves to toggle back and forth between my Freedom keyboard and the onscreen keyboard (instead of entering a command), and I can't get the shortcut in the extras directory to work (as it did in the previous operating system). As I've finally gotten abiword to work for me in the new operating system, it's of no benefit if my Freedom keyboard also doesn't work. (The onscreen keyboard doesn't work with the current version of abiword.) Ah, yes, there are some drawbacks in adjusting to an new operating system!

Try to remove/reinsert keyboard batteries to force kbdd to pair keyboard again, i had problem when switching between different systems in flash and mmc, keyboard and n770 device got out of sync regarding to bluetooth pairing data.

Also try to read instructions both on the site and included README.txt and follow it precisely.

If it still doesn't work then describe your problem in detail, 'I can't get the shortcut in the extras directory to work' is not description of the problem. How you are trying to get it work? What you did precisely?

Regretfully, I've become something of an "old hand" at reading and following all the kbdd instructions exactly. I've printed them out and keep them close by my side! Reinserting the batteries didn't accomplish anything. I can readily activate the keyboard by entering ./btkbd when in root, and I can deactivate it the same way. However, when activated it types letters all right, but the enter key, as I said earlier, doesn't actaully enter any commands but merely toggles back and forth between a full screen of xterm text and a bottom-screen keyboard. After deactivating the keyboard through a second ./btkbd command (executed necessarily from the onscreen keyboard), I enter ./install_shortcut.sh, which installs the shortcut command in the extras menu. When that doesn't work, I go back to xterm and execute ./remove_shortcut.sh, which then does remove the command from the extras menu. All of the above commands I've executed many times, wih the same results. I successfully followed these instructions with the former operating system, but they don't work with effect in the new operating system. I hope this provides you more helpful specific information. As always, any further assistance you can provide would be most welcome.

Do you run btkbd as root or ordinary user in osso-xterm? Does 'sudo gainroot' give root prompt for you? Menu shortcut uses sudo gainroot.

As for toggling VKB via enter key it should be enough to reactivate osso-xterm window by bringing up main application menu and closing it.

In one of my replies to another thread of yours of last week, I offered the supposition that one of my problems might stem from the fact that I become root by the "sudo su" command, not through "gainroot." If this accounts for my "shortcut" problem, what edit do you suggest I make (beyond the perhaps obvious one of making this change in your "install_shortcut.sh" script)?

IN regards to your instruction to:

I don't quite understand exactly what this means or specifically how I go about doing it. Which "main application menu" do you mean and where do I find it? This no doubt appears to be a stupid question, but I am a little confused. Thanks for your quick response(s).

Yes, the problem can be also called 'not following or simply ignoring instructions'
If this is obvious them change it yourself :-)
I meant the start menu, the one you use to launch applications. For me it is enough to make osso-xterm to lose input focus by opening the menu and then activating osso-xterm window again. Then VKB does not show when pressing enter.

Thanks. While I didn't recognize that my 770 had a "start" menu labeled as such, I am assuming you were referring to my "extras" menu. When I re-invoked by osso-xterminal through the extras menu, the toggling problem seemed to have been resolved (at least for now!) As to editing the install_shortcut.sh script (and I presume the remove_shortcut.sh script also), I will have to wait until my Linux box is again functioning so as to accomplish this via ssh. Neither my onscreen nor Freedom keyboards seem to have the necessary "escape" keys for me to be able to utilize the vi editor with either of those two keyboards. Thanks again.

But that won't help you at all :-) Installation and removal works fine (when you are root). Executing the shortcut doesn't work.

Try modifying the btkbd script instead. And when you find it non-obvious later you still have option to make sudo gainroot working :-)

I apologize for for not making myself more clear. I wan't intending to "execute" any kbdd operational commands via ssh. I was only intending to do my vi editing of your scripts via ssh. Now, on your suggestion, I will also appropriately edit the btkbd script changing the "sudo gainroot" to "sudo su," which I presume was the intent of your suggestion.
